Like seriously took the time to grab a pen and paper, envelope, and stamp and just write your heart out. Well, if you’re anything like me, you haven’t done it in years!

I realized this when my Grandfather asked me to mail a postcard to him. Apparently one of his neighbors in Austin, Texas loves to collects stamps, and doesn’t have one from this region, let alone this country..

I miss receiving letters. I have a box at home where I keep every postcard, letter, and love letter that I ever received. But as of a couple of years ago, the contents stopped growing as letters were replaced with emails, e-cards, facebook messages, and text messages, and it’s not like you print out e-cards now do yah.. Sighh.. At least I’ll have something to show my children, but will my children have anything to show theirs?

Anyway, I digress!! Not that this has much significance, but I posted my first Lebanese postcard today..and licked my first Lebanese stamp (eww I know.)

Wow, it’s like 2 decades ago..in 1991 after i finished high school, and came to Lebanon, I sent few mails to my school friends, and one letter was written on perfumed paper to my Saudi girl friend (that time). Then God said: Let there be Internet.. I miss writing letters, also I noticed that my handwriting is awful now. *sigh* .. Let me ask you: have you ever sent an audio tape with your voice recorded on it to relatives or friends living abroad??

it is a habbit that me and my sis are trying to keep…
sending a letter every now and than to the states or post cards from where we are spending our vacations….
sometimes the time between letters is long… but i hope to keep it up 🙂
good luck!!!

Uh, I mailed a post card from one of the yellow boxes back in early September and it still hasn’t arrived. I hear you have better luck if you mail it from the post office directly but I’m not sure if that’s true.

Noooo..really? It still hasn’t arrived? Since SEPTEMBER? Mann,,well where is the nearest post office then? I may just have to send another one in the hopes that this one will arrive before the end of the year!

The last time i sent a letter which wasn’t addressed to the Penalties Enforcement Registry trying to get out of a speeding ticket, was in 2001 thanking my x-gf for an unexpected present. even though we lived cross the street from each other, she insisted we write to each other! hehe it was fun
